The BGL KMFE lock nut is a shaft-mounting accessory used with adapter sleeves to hold bearings, gears and pulleys in position. It is locked with an MB washer or an MS lock washer, depending on the assembly. Made of nodular cast iron, it requires less effort to tighten and lowers the risk of seizing when it is removed.

In the KMFE designation, the first number is the size code and the second is the metric thread pitch. KMFE11x1.5, for example, has size code 11 and a 1.5 mm pitch; KMFE12x1.5 and KMFE13x1.5 follow the same pattern. The size code is not the shaft diameter in millimeters, so always confirm the thread and pitch against the sleeve or shaft you are working on.

These nuts are common in power transmission equipment, conveyor belts, mills, pumps and fans, and they appear in industries such as metallurgy, food processing, mining and agribusiness. Their job is to lock bearings and other components in place on the shaft so the assembly stays stable under vibration or variable loads.

When selecting a nut, check the diameter and thread pitch of the shaft or sleeve and the type of lock washer you plan to use. The nodular cast iron of the KMFE series balances strength with easy tightening, which reduces the effort needed and the chance of damaging the thread during removal. Align the assembly correctly and lubricate the thread before mounting to simplify future maintenance.

KMFE lock nuts are offered under various brands and designations, so when you need a replacement, compare the key dimensions: diameter, pitch and locking method. Interchangeability between brands generally follows international standards, but it is always worth verifying compatibility with the sleeve and washer already on the equipment.

To order, send the part number or the measurements you need by WhatsApp or email. The MR Industrial Accessories team replies promptly, can suggest equivalents and helps you choose the right nut for the application.
